Becoming Conversant with the Emerging Church: Understanding a Movement and Its Implications
Author: D. A. Carson
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 9780310259473
Paperback
A recent flurry of books indicates that the evangelical church is now seriously grappling with the implications of post-modernism. The emerging church movement that clusters around such writers as Brian McLaren and Robert Webber represents a growing consensus about how the church should welcome the postmodern opportunity. Carson’s survey and critique introduces readers to the emerging church’s strengths and weaknesses. While applauding the movement’s effort to understand culture and to draw post-Christian generations, Carson ultimately faults the emerging church for simplistic readings of post-modernism and unsympathetic criticism of confessional evangelicalism. – Matthew Harmon, Westminster Bookstore Staff
